rough idling when I start or take my foot off the gas by steeler70s

My camry is giving me such a headache right now, when I start it up and let my foot off the gas pedal it starts to rough idle and sometimes it even dies, this also happens when I tried to drive it around the block at my house. I have changed the spark plugs but still am having idling problems.

Toyota Camry ('95) Cold Start problem. Need Help! by humanabstract
Dec 15, 2007 (6:02 pm)
Reply
My '95 Camry with the 2.2L engine does not start properly when cold. I have to hold the gas down slightly or the engine shuts off. When the engine has run for about thirty or forty seconds it will idle as normal. I am wondering if anyone knows whether the '95 2.2L Camry has a sensor which tells the cold start injector to enrich the fuel when the coolant temperature is low (ie. when the car is cold). If anyone can help me with this question or has dealt with this type of situation before, please, please help me!
 
Thank you!

1996 toyoto camry startup problem by raviraj

I am having intermittent starting problems with my 1996 toyota Camry.
It has happend 3 times till now. First it happened 2 months back. I turned the keys and nothing happend. I
turned it 3-4 times but nothing it didn't even click or anything. I tried few more times it clicked once but didn't
start. My interior light and headlights were working. I went to office in friend's car. In the evening I tried to
start the car again. Turned the keys 3-4 times after trying for few times finally it started. I had the problem for 2
days. I used to start the car by turning key again and again. After 2 days the problem disappeared. But then it
showed up again 2nd time a month back. At that time also it did last for one or two days and then went away. Today,
after a month, same thing happend again, this is third time. In the morning car did not start. I tried to turn the
key 3-4 time. It clicked once(made that start up noise) but didn't start. I did not take it to work. In the evening
when I tried to start it, it started after 3-4 attempts. Once it started I took it to the mechanic and explained
him the problem. He was about to close the workshop, so he didn't take a look at the car. Based on my description
of problem he said it might be a problem with the starter.
 
What could be the issue? Thanks!

Could be the starter, or the keylock/switch circuit. To conclusively prove, when you have a failing condition (it won't start), someone needs to check with a voltmeter whether the starter is getting the right voltages telling it to start (in which case the problem is in the starter itself), or it doesn't have the right voltages (in which case the problem is upstream in the switch circuit).

Thanks Kiawah.
 
Today it started without any issue. May be when next time it starts giving problem I will have mechanic to check the voltage with voltmeter.
 
Actually I don't want to wait till it fails again. I am afraid that what if it gives problem again when I really need car or if I am some where away from town.
 
I took it to mechanic also, as it is staring without any issue he said he can not check anything. Thanks.

hi my girlfriend is having the same problems. its been going on and off for a few months. at first we thought it was her battery because nothing would actually turn on. but after a jump nothing changed. we tried a jump one more time and it worked after that. same exact thing happened the next day. she brought it tot the toyota dealer and told her that nothing was wrong with the battery, so she didn't replace it. things seemed fine after that until month later her car wouldn't start again. this time it was making very loud clicking sounds very fast. we tried to start it about 8 times before giving up. her father gives it a try later on the day and gets it started. i have a feeling it might be the starter but i'm not a mechanic. i advised to bring it to a different dealer from last time to see what they come up with. if you could share your experiences with me that would be very helpful.

97 Camry - P0136 - Engine Light by athurai
Aug 20, 2008 (8:10 pm)

Hi,
I have a 1997 camry which had the engine light on. I checked the OBD codes and got P0136 (just one code nothing else). The guy said Oxygen O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 2). Now, I replaced the front oxygen sensor only a year ago. Is this the same one or different. If so where is it located.
 
Also, this could be due to the fact that my fuel is running lean. Every time I start in the morning for the first time the engine stalls, I have to race it and/or pump the gas pedal few times to get it started. Do you guys know how to increase the fuel/air mixture to adjust so I can get a more rich mixture which might fix this issue.
Thanks for any help in advance
Andy
